## Description

KeyNounce is the easiest way to type in Russian using just the English keyboard. KeyNounce uses a technique called "transliteration" that enables you to type the Russian pronunciation in English, instantly giving you back the word written in Russian.

For example, typing "Privet" will give you “Привет” right as you type! It’s simple, fast and super accurate. You don’t need to worry about typing in the exact English spelling for an Russian word, KeyNounce is smart enough to accept many input spellings for the same output word.

If you can write, or read Russian, but aren’t used to typing using the Russian keyboard, KeyNounce is the perfect solution for you.

KeyNounce works in any app! Once you enable the keyboard you’ll be able to easily compose texts, emails, tweets, facebook posts, and search the web in Russian.
